You shouldnta orta done that!

Mrs. White,
You are so generous. I guess with this extra bonus, none of us will even have to take the final, right? I wish I could post anonymously but you would have known this author anyway. This has been a fun class and I will miss it.

I did learn alot from this class. I did not realize language was broken down into so many small parts. I guess we get user friendly and just communicate without analyzing how and why we communicate. Some other things I learned from this class was knowing how important it is to have each person in a group participate and be asked to input their ideas into group discussions. In our first group, someone insisted on doing the whole activity themselves. I am so glad this happened because it gave everyone in our group time to talk about it and realize that we never wanted anyone to feel left out or unimportant. I did not want that to become a sermon, but I just felt it had a profound effect on how I will work in groups from now on. Each person should be addressed and asked what they think. Some of us do not communicate as freely as others. Pull these people into the group.

Thank you, Mrs. White, for your help and special talks about what is essential to becoming a good teacher. I think you have the experience to see what we need to focus on to be able to effectively teach. I will remember your advice.
